Master.
It was a rather delicate form of address.
In ancient times, this term might have been used between a true master and servant. Nowadays, it usually came with some strange implications. But Yue Wen thought carefully and couldn't remember ever getting into that kind of scene.
Besides, he didn't even know this woman.
Thinking back over his past, the only ones who could call him Master were the Black-Silver Corpse Puppets and Little Black Snake... Huh, why were they all black?
Oh, never mind. That wasn't important.
Wait.
Little Black Snake was a Spiritual Pet. Yue Wen suddenly remembered that he seemed to have another "Spiritual Pet." Could it be the Fox Demon Empress?
Looking at Su Yun's teasing, smiling eyes, which seemed to overlap with those foxlike eyes, he couldn't help feeling a slight stir in his heart.
But he didn't dare ask outright, so he tentatively said, "Miss Su, what do you mean?"
"Stop pretending. You still haven't guessed who I am?" Su Yun smiled faintly. Her eyes abruptly changed color, turning into the Fox Demon Empress's blue-green eyes, and a trace of demonic aura escaped her.
In that instant, Yue Wen also felt a connection deep in his soul.
Perhaps it was the bond she had mentioned, tying him to the master of Immortal Dew Valley.
That familiar feeling let him confirm with absolute certainty that the person before him was indeed the Fox Demon Empress.
"What happened?" Yue Wen asked. "Do fox demons specifically like possessing beautiful women surnamed Su?"
The last one who'd done that was called Su Daji, and she'd caused quite a stir.
Su Yun shrugged and sat down. "That's a long story. I'll explain it to you."
Now that he knew she was the Fox Demon Empress, Yue Wen wasn't worried
